General Safety Summary

Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid person injury and

prevent damage to the instrument or any products connected to it. To avoid

potential hazards, please use the instrument as specified.

Only qualified technician should perform service procedures

Use Proper Power Line

Use only the special power line of the instrument that approved by local state.

Ground the Instrument

The instrument grounds through the protective terra conductor of the power

line. To avoid electric shock, the ground conductor must be connected to the

earth. Make sure the instrument is grounded correctly before connect its input

or output terminals.

Connect the Signal Wire correctly

The potential of the signal wire is equal to the earth, so do not connect the

signal wire to a high voltage. Do not touch the exposed contacts or

components.

Look Over All Terminals’ Ratings

To avoid fire or electric shock, please look over all ratings and sign instruction

of the instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please read the manual

carefully to gain more information about the ratings.

Not Operate with Suspected Failures

If you suspect that there is a damage of the instrument, please let a qualified

service personnel check it.

Avoid Circuit or Components Exposed

Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the power is on.

Do not Operate in Wet/Damp conditions

Do not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere

Keep the Surface of the Instrument Clean and Dry

Safety Terms and Symbols
